There was once a fairy who was learning how to be a fairy godmother.She was
the kindest and cleverest of all fairies.However，she was also a very ugly
fairy.And no matter how friendly she was to others，it seemed that everyone always
believed that the most important thing about a fairy was her beauty.In the fairy
country，she was always laughed at.Every time she flew off to help a child or anyone
else in trouble，before she could say a word they were already shouting，“Ugly! Get
out of here！”
Although she was little，her magic was very powerful because she
studied very hard in the fairy school.And more than once she had considered using her
magic to make herself beautiful.But then she remembered what her mother
had always told her ，“ My dear ， you are what you are ， so just be
yourself.Remember，you are this way for a very special reason.”
Then，one day，the witches of the neighboring land invaded the country，putting
all the fairies in prison.The ugly fairy was helped by her ugly face，since the witches
believed all fairies were beautiful.So no witches thought she was a fairy.That way she
was able to follow the witches back to their home.Once there she used her magic to
prepare a big party for everyone.The witches got really excited.They sang and
drank.While the party was in full swing，the fairy hurried off and set free all the other
fairies.Then they worked together and succeeded in locking the witches inside
the mountain for the next hundred years and more ， and everyone
remembered the great bravery and intelligence of the fairy.From that day on，no one in
that land ever saw ugliness as a bad thing，and whenever someone ugly was born，
people were filled with joy，knowing that for that new person great things waited
ahead.

When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you？Not
someone you knew，but a total stranger？It's happened to me a few times，but two
instances really stand out.
A few years ago，I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about
himself，completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery.It wasn't my
friend's talks that made me suffer.I was recovering from a broken heart ， and just
sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.I could have burst into
tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check，the waitress said，“Your meal
was already paid for.”My friend and I didn't have a clue how it
happened.Then I remembered a man I saw out of the comer of my
eye.He was dressed in mostly white，sat down at the bar，had a beer，and stayed for
maybe ten minutes.The waitress said，“Yes，the gentleman in white paid for you.”It
felt like an angel was saying，“I see you，honey.It's going to be okay.”
Just last year，I was running a halfmarathon.With just 1 mile to go，I was out of
gas.Runners call it“hitting the wall”．I thought I couldn't move another inch.Out of
nowhere，a stranger came up to me and said，”What's your name，sweetie？Jennifer？
Okay，Jennifer，let's go! Come on! It's just around the corner! You can do it！” And
he ran with me until I picked up my pace.I found him at the finish line to
thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn't even supposed to be in
the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at
my point of need.Do you have any experiences like these?

主题，询问是否有陌生人曾经意外的帮助过你，然后下文讲述了自己的两段相关
的经历，故文章的主要内容是讲述陌生人的帮助。]

B．Because she quarreled with her friend.
C．Because her friend only talked about himself.

10．According to the passage，the man in white ．
A．was the author's friend
B．had a big meal in the restaurant
C．was generous and kindhearted
D．enjoyed making fun of others
C [推理判断题。从第三段的描述可知这位穿白衣的人与作者不相识，看到
作者难过就为他们付了钱，他是一个慷慨、善良的人。]

A．being hurt by the wall
B．winning the game
C．taking a deep breath

Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing.Their
designers say with these robots，rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives
during an earthquake.
This robot，looking like a helicopter，is called the detector(探测器)robat.At about
4 metres long，it took about 4 years to develop the model.Its main functions are to
7/16
collect information from the air，and deliver goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped
by an earthquake.
This robot is equipped with a high 360degree panoramic(全景的) camera.It can
work day and night and also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr Qi Juntong，from Chinese Academy of Sciences，said，“The most important
feature of this robot is that it doesn't need distant control.We just set the information
on it，and then it takes off，and lands by itself.It flies as high as 3，000 metres，and
as fast as 100 kilometres per hour.”
This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes.Its
main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers can't go.
The robot is equipped with a camera that can work in the dark，as well as a
detector that not only finds people，but can also detect poisonous gas.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply bot，with its 10metre long pipe.People
trapped in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will be produced ， and serve as part of the
national earthquake rescue team as soon as next year.

Ⅱ.阅读填句(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)
The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 16 By helping them
develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.
1.Curiosity
Your children need to be deeply curious. 17 Ask kids，“What ingredients (配
料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time？”and then try them
out.Did those ingredients make the pancakes better？What could we try next time?
2.Creativity
True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new
from it. 18 There are a dozen different things you can do with
them.Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in
helping them develop their creativity.
3.Interpersonal Skills
Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids.We know what's going
on inside our own head，but what about others？Being able to read people helps kids
from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. 19 “Why do you
think she's crying ？ ”“Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his
face？”“If someone were to do that to you，how would you feel？”
9/16
4.Self Expression
20 There are many ways to express thoughts and ideas—music，
acting，drawing，building，photography.You may find that your child is attracted by
one more than another.
A．Encourage kids to cook with you.
B．And we can't forget science education.

G．Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。孩子未来会从事什么样的工作呢？或许
是目前尚不存在的工作。那么如何让孩子准备好将来的工作呢？文章给出了要让
孩子做好准备的四个方面：好奇心、创造性、人际交往技巧和自我表达能力。
16．D [根据文章开头第一句 The jobs of the future have not yet been
invented.“未来的工作尚未发明出来”并且结合 16 空后面的 By helping them
develop classic skills that will serve them well“通过帮助他们发展可以为他们很
好的服务的经典技能”可知，16 空应该是个问句，D 项“那么我们该如何帮助
孩子们为尚不存在的工作做好准备呢？”符合语境。]
17．A [根据该空后面提供的语境 What ingredients(配料)can we add to make
these pancakes even better next time？“下次我们可以添加什么配料来让这些
薄煎饼更好吃呢？”可知与 cook 有关，故选 A 项(鼓励孩子跟你一起烹饪)。]
18．C [该空在 2.Creativity 之下，与“创造性”匹配的只有 C 项中的 in new
ways“用新的方法”，故 C 项为正确选项。]
19．F [根据 19 空后面的几个问题：Why do you think she's crying？Can
you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face？...我们很容易判断出与
F 项的 ask questions 关系密切。故此处要填入 F 项“我们可以在我们的实际生活
中这样做或者就故事中的角色进行提问”。]
20．G [G 项“能用有意义的方式交流想法是一项宝贵的技能”是对 Self
Expression“自我表达”技能的解释。expression“表达”与 communicate“交
10/16
流”是该题解答的关键。]
Ⅲ.完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分)
After graduation from college ， I started to sell.Soon I

可以带给我们许多好处。
21．A.happy B．worried
C．curious D．surprised
B [从本段第三句可知，由于多年艰苦的生活，作者总是带着忧虑的表情。

答案。]
22．A.success B．friendship
11/16
C．failure D．reward
C [因为自己的表情必定会带来失败，所以作者才想办法改变。其他选项表
达积极意义，故可排除。]

所以要改掉这种表情并不容易。]
24．A.made up B．brought in
C．resulted in D．called for
D [It 在这里指改变脸上的表情这件事，这需要完全改变作者对生活的看
法，call for 的意思是“需要”。make up“编造，占据”，bring in“引进”，result
in“产生”，不符合文意。]
25．A.way B．example
C．idea D．thought

法。]
26．A.determined B．hurried

有助于作者一天的生活的，因此用 how。]
31．A.helped B．concerned
C．satisfied D．disappointed
A [联系下文的内容可知，十五分钟的微笑练习对作者帮助很大。
concern“担心，关怀”，satisfy“满足”，disappoint“使失望”，均不符合文意。]
32．A.could B．might
C．should D．would
D [在进办公室前，我会想起许多应感激的事情。would 在这里表示“过去
常常”。]
33．A.ready B．certain
C．thankful D．famous
C [因为对事情充满了感激，才会发出真心的微笑，故用 thankful。其他选
项可依据空后的 and work up a big smile 排除。]

心。]

对应。]

Ⅳ.语法填空(共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分)

Does the early bird catch the worm ？ That is not necessarily so according to
recent research 41. (conduct) by an American professor.
Research shows that when work schedules agree with people's natural sleep
patterns，they produce 42. (high) quality and more creative work
because they are more focused，less stressed and generally healthier.43.
opposite is also true—when employees do not have plenty of sleep，they are more
likely 44. (make) mistakes and suffer from workplace injuries.
45． (sad)，for many of us，our work schedules do not agree with our
natural body clocks.Many companies start the work day too early，46. (put)
their work schedules in disagreement with their employees' body clocks.That
disagreement，along with the 47. (press) from work at all hours of the
day and night，means that many people suffer 48. “social jetlag (社会时
差)”．In other words，their bodies are always in the wrong time zone.
The sad news is 49. most of the working population today are
getting up earlier than they should.It is high time that these companies 50.
(adjust) their work schedules so that their employees could have enough sleep.
【语篇解读】 早起的鸟儿一定有虫吃吗？研究表明工作时间与人的生物钟
14/16
相一致时，工作效率较高；反之，工作效率较低。
41．conducted [conducted by an American professor 是过去分词短语作定语，
修饰 research，分词动作 conduct 与逻辑主语 research 之间是被动关系。]
42．higher [本空与本空后的“more creative”构成并列，故填 high 的比较级。
这里是将员工工作时间和人体的自然睡眠模式一致时与员工被剥夺了睡眠时间
时相比较。]
43．The [the opposite 是“the＋形容词”表示一类事物。]
44．to make [be likely to do sth.意思是“很可能会做某事”。]
45．Sadly [空格中所填单词在句中修饰整个句子，需用 sad 的副词形式。]
46 ． putting [putting their work schedules in disagreement with their
employees' body clocks 是现在分词短语作状语，分词动作 put 与逻辑主语 many
companies 之间是主动关系。]
47．pressure [空格中所填单词在句中作 along with 的宾语且前有 the，需
用名词；由语境可知此处表示“压力”，故填 pressure。]
48．from [suffer from 表示“遭受……痛苦”。]
49．that [that 引导表语从句，在从句中只起连接作用，不充当任何成分。]
50．adjusted/should adjust [句型 it is high time that 后面从句中的谓语动词
用过去式或用“should＋动词原形”，但 should 不可省略。]

Dear fellow students，
Our school advocates that we should build a low carbon campus in order to
protect the earth.
I think it is everyone's duty to work hard to achieve this goal.Here is what I think
we should do ：First of all，we should walk or ride bikes instead of riding in cars or
school buses to reduce the amount of pollution.Secondly，when we eat the
food in the school cafeteria ， we should eat up what we buy and not waste the
food.Thirdly，it is important for us to save electricity and water.We should not leave
the lights on in the daytime or leave water running after washing.Instead，we should
turn off lights as soon as we leave the classroom and dormitories.
In a word，if we can make small changes in our way of life，we can make a big
difference to the earth!
Dear fellow students，let's start right now and spare no effort to do every little
thing we can from now on!
